The two houses separated and then adj
journed until tomorrow.
BOTH SIDES DETERMINED.
The Senatorial muddle in the Florida
Legislature seems to have resolved itself into
this state of affairs: The friends and SUD-
porters of both Perry and Bloxham are
about equal in numbers and believe it to be
religious duty that they persevere until
their choice is made, as they fear concession
or surrender would be construed into
partial acknowledgment of the charges and
counter charges that have been brought
against their respective candidates. Gov.
Perry has in his gift number of very i'm
portant appointments, including Circuit
Judges, District Attorneys, ETC., and as he
has not yet selected any OF the appointees
or intimated what his action will be-
Bloxham's supporters think the delay is
in the interest of Perry's Senatorial aspira-
tiOns, and they demand that the appoint
ments now due be made so that both candi-
dates will stand, as near as may be, on the
same footing. Bloxham has no patronage,
and his friends insist that he shall not be in
jured by that at the disposal of his competi-
tor. Bloxham's friends believe him to be
the choice of the people of the State, and
z blink the appointments now withheld are
& Hping him an injury, SO they ask a fair test
~ strength without hope of reward.
S NJ ONE OF THE LEADERS TO WIN.
81 While there are a good many level
& eaded politicians who say the contest is
frtain to result in a dark horse being
{ hosen Senator, the indications now are
lat the choice must be either Bloxham or
erry, as the people expect one of them to
3 be Senator 1t may be safely said, Judging
nom the present situation, that Bloxham S
Importers will hold out until they think a
Air test has been given their real strength.
THO Perry men will endeavor to maintain
Xkpir DrPSpnt ad va ntapa and this will pan-
niue until it is shown beyond controversy
Zhich of the two has the largest number of
mites. Then the other will withdraw and
De leading candidate be nominated
unanimously and elected accordingly. The
s republicans promise to remain true to their
hDminee to the bitter end.
Notwithstanding the unusual excitement
yer the Senatorial election, considerable
eglSlatlOn has been accomplished. The

twenty useless and unwholesome measures,

liberation i'll open session.
